Wrong alignment in select lists

2010-05-31 Thread Bernd Eggink 
Select lists are sometimes displayed with incorrect vertical alignment 
if an item contains one or more German umlauts. Examples:


select x in äöü blah{1..20}; do :; done # wrong
select x in amöbe blah{1..20}; do :; done   # wrong
select x in amöb blah{1..20}; do :; done# wrong
select x in amö blah{1..20}; do :; done # OK

Bash version is 4.1.7(1)-release, LANG is de_DE.UTF-8.

It's long ago I since inspected the select code, but I think it's 
because it counts bytes for the space calculations. The last one 
succeeds because there's a minimum width reached.
